ELECTRONIC BRAKE
CONTROL SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced
electronic brake control system that includes the
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Traction Control
System (TCS), and Electronic Stability Control
(ESC). All of these systems work together to
enhance vehicle stability and control in various
driving conditions.
Anti-Lock Brake System
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) is designed
to aid the driver in maintaining vehicle control
under adverse braking conditions. The system
operates with a separate computer to modulate
hydraulic pressure to prevent wheel lock-up and
help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces.
NOTE:
During severe braking conditions, a pulsing
sensation may occur and a clicking noise
will be heard. This is normal, indicating that
the ABS is functioning.
The ABS conducts a low-speed self-test at
approximately 12 mph (20 km/h). If you have
your foot lightly on the brake pedal while this test
is occurring, you may feel a slight pedal move-
ment. The movement can be more apparent on
ice and snow and be considered normal.
The ABS pump motor runs during the self-test at
12 mph (20 km/h) and during an ABS stop. The
pump motor makes a low humming noise during
operation, which is normal.
WARNING!
•
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) con-
tains sophisticated electronic equipment
that may be susceptible to interference
caused by improperly installed or high out-
put radio transmitting equipment. This in-
terference can cause possible loss of anti-
lock braking capability. Installation of such
equipment should be performed by quali-
fied professionals.
•
Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will dimin-
ish their effectiveness and may lead to a
collision. Pumping makes the stopping dis-
tance longer. Just press firmly on your
brake pedal when you need to slow down
or stop.
•
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) cannot
prevent the natural laws of physics from
acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase
braking or steering efficiency beyond that
afforded by the condition of the vehicle
brakes and tires or the traction afforded.

WARNING! (Continued)
•
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) cannot
prevent collisions, including those resulting
from excessive speed in turns, following
another vehicle too closely, or hydroplan-
ing.
•
The capabilities of an Anti-Lock Brake Sys-
tem (ABS) equipped vehicle must never be
exploited in a reckless or dangerous man-
ner, that could jeopardize the user’s safety
or the safety of others.
CAUTION!
The Anti-Lock Brake System is subject to
possible detrimental effects of electronic in-
terference caused by improperly installed
aftermarket radios or telephones.
All vehicle wheels and tires must be the same
size and type as the original equipment and the
tires must be properly inflated to produce accu-
rate signals for the computer.
WARNING!
Significant over or underinflation of tires, or
mixing sizes of tires or wheels on the vehicle
can lead to loss of braking effectiveness.
